Duration: 1999-2002   

Objectives

Effects of slash removal on forest regeneration.The amount of slash (logging residue) and it's variation remaining on regeneration areas are surveyed. The implementation and quality of soil preparation an forest regeneration at test plots with and without slash are studied, and regeneration results in practice in relation to slash amounts are compared. Research results can be utilised in the development of soil preparation methods and in the mechanisation of forest cultivation.
